From today, tourists the world over will be able to buy holiday packages to Malaysia which will offer medical check-ups.
The Malaysia Airlines (MAS) medical travel package includes regular accommodation with daily breakfast, return airfare and airport transfers.
The Golden Holidays-HSC Medical Package have been introduced in support of Government efforts to promote Malaysia as a health and medical facilities destination.
MAS’ assistant general manager of marketing support, Raja Nordiana Zainal Shah said: "The packages will facilitate the medical needs of our customers whilst boosting Malaysia’s positioning as a medical destination."
She said the airline expected 1,000 of the packages to be sold, bringing in revenue of RM3 million.
Raja Nordiana earlier signed a memorandum of understanding with the executive director of HSC Medical Centre, Dr Lim Yin Chow.

"We have been operating since 2003, and more than 60 per cent of our customers are foreign tourists," said Dr Lim.
